My Ride: 2011 550i M sport
Hello all. Hoping i could get some help from you all. Weather colder now (not much still in the 60's) and i have noticed twice already a moan in the power steering when turning into the parking lot (turning right). When ive had this w other cars, it usually meant it needed fluid. I have not looked yet, as i am at work, but is there a reservoir tank that we can check onthese cars. Or, is it like the transmission fluid that we cant check on our own?

And old woman may be stuck under the right wheel toward the front of the well......
Nope no old ladies or any other creatures under the card
Seriously, though, I looked in the manual and there is no mention of power steering fluid reservoir tank. Can anyone help me figure this out. If low, id like to fill it and see if that is the issue before going to the dealership. Thanks in advance
